No lug nut issues on my 89, 93, or 99 cummins powered trucks quit buying new trucks and expecting them to be quality! They don't make them like they used to Must be nice to live somewhere where the frames don't rust to pieces in 10-15 years. This new brine salt solution they use here is nasty stuff.

you're right, it is very nice lol
The 99 has spent its fair amount of time in the salt due to trips to MN, MI, KS, NE, MS etc and it shows. I've kept the frame pretty clean but had to replace the floor pans and rockers this past summer. Ready for another 500,000 now
Gotta live up to the nickname...

If I owed a 2017 Ford F-150 and had a flat on the side of the road …and I found out my factory lug wrench would not fit ovah the lug nuts….or I couldn’t get the lug nut out of the wrench….I think I would be so (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) off …I’d put a match to it right there.

I have a 2019 f350. The lugnut come off easily on it but it requires a sledgehammer to get the wheels off. Same with my 2015 Silveraydo. Great concept for a cast aluminimumum wheel!

Great concept for a cast aluminimumum wheel! a little anti seize saves so much of that pounding , it has been an issue with aluminum rims for 30+ years as soon as we started seeing them

The cure is to buy twenty sockets that fit, and drive them on……and leave them on! lol. Chrome lugnut covers to boot. maybe a little less expensive https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2017,f-150,5.0l+v8,3436063,wheel,lug+nut,7676 you know it is sort of interesting we buy a new rifle and half the time the first thing we do is toss the factory scope mount and get a better one , if it came with a cheap scope toss that and get a good one , pull the sling swivels and put in 1 1/14 swivels and epoxy them in place pull the action and glass bed it in the stock. go through all the screws and add lock tite clean it , then run barrel break in , then clean the copper but on other products we just expect to turn the key and take it for oil changes every 5K just by the nature of things we should expect that a significantly more complex tool might have some cheap parts and maintenance that should be replaced and done , but the manufacture likes to sell "maintenance free" I think that Maintenance free anything = more failure prone. I guess you would hope that 60K for a truck would cover that but it doesn't seem too sort of surprising there are not vehicle enthusiast sites that are constantly logging every issue and documenting the fix , maybe there are or maybe that many people have been convinced they shouldn't work on their vehicle

[/quote] 1600 miles a year,,whats that like 30 miles a week,, 4 1/2 miles a day ,I walk further than that.LOL [/quote]
So what? Big deal, you walk 4 1/2 miles a day.
Wait, here's a thought. I drive 1000 miles then stay there. Then do that 69 times, until I buy another truck, of which I have 4. 1 179000 miles 2 139000 miles 3 62000. Miles 4 69000 miles Also V twin bike 560 miles. Get back in your hi-chair kid I got socks older than you.
